Interior Maintenance of Homes and Businesses.

The Subject Matter of Which the Invention Pertains

Improved convenience and reduction of time and money required to cleanup liquid spills and protect valuable possessions.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The Background of the Invention

The current paper towel system for cleaning up liquid spills isgenerally located in the kitchen and therefore is not easily accessiblefor the efficient clean up of liquid spills in other areas of a home orbusiness.

FOR EXAMPLE

Let's visualize a liquid spill that just occurred in a home, computerroom setting.

The props in this scenario are a spilled glass of soda, a desk, acomputer keyboard and a light-colored carpet.

Cleaning up this spill requires a trip to the kitchen to obtain papertowels, followed by a trip back to the spill.

In this example, since the severity of the spill was greater thanexpected, another return trip to the kitchen is required to obtainadditional paper towels. Meanwhile, the spilled liquid continues tospread, soak in, and damage the keyboard and carpet.

Damage assessment concludes that time and money must be spent to obtaina professional cleaning service to remove stains from the carpet andpurchase and install a new computer key board to return the affectedpossessions to their prior condition.

IN CONTRAST

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The Background of the Invention

For years paper towels have generally been located in the kitchen andtherefore have not been easily accessible to clean up liquid spills inother areas of a home or business.

By simply placing paper towels in areas where liquid spills mostcommonly occur, it becomes more convenient and efficient to clean upliquid spills.

FOR EXAMPLE

Let's visualize a liquid spill that occurred in a home, living roomsetting.

The props in this scenario include a spilled glass of red wine, anupholstered chair, a set of drapes, a lap top computer, and carpet.

To clean-up this spill, a person rushes to the kitchen to obtain papertowels and then returns to the liquid spill.

Due to the severity of the spill, an additional trip to the kitchen isrequired to obtain additional paper towels. Meanwhile, the spilledliquid continues to spread and soak-in.

Damage assessment concludes that time and money will be required torepair or replace the lap top computer, and a professional cleaningservice will be required to restore the upholstered chair, the drapesand the carpet to their original condition.
